Staff Engineer Interview Experience - United States

May 1, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. Phone Call with the recruiter followed by the interview with hiring manager.

The hiring manager just asked about my experience. The interviewer also used a poor analogy to insinuate that I was very desperate looking for a job which was not the case.

Questions

Went over my experience for the past many years with increasing emphasis on the latest two roles. No technical questions asked to demonstrate my talent or skills about the relevant technologies/tools. I had all the skills relevant to the role. The interviewer had no genuine interest in what I had to offer. The interviewer ended the interview about 25 minutes into a 45-minute long slot.
